It still amazes me that racism exists where one would think it wouldn’t, and that it exists at all. Naïve of me to think that history could just fade away and people’s negativity and egos could be changed. Kudos for keeping the conversation going and reminder that we can all do better.

I particularly liked when you wrote: “There are plenty of times my fear of offending or of being upbraided for saying the wrong thing makes me say nothing. I do not want to remain adept at this kind of silence, where no one is the wiser, and no one learns a thing.” It is this silence that paralyzes many of us and it is deafening. No matter how far we have come as a country, and we have come a long way, the fact is we have a whole lot more work to do.
